Art

A community of talented individuals makes up this tight-knit, supportive, and challenging department. With art, you will have the chance to explore ceramics, printmaking, painting, drawing, photography, and graphic design. You will be encouraged to build a strong foundation and then explore your own interests to their fullest. Our students travel to studios around the country and to national printmaking and ceramic conferences.

We strive to foster creativity and critical thinking through studio arts and graphic design. You will develop visual literacy and problem-solving skills to boldly explore many avenues of technical and creative expression, and to develop an appreciation for craftsmanship and communication.

You will find your voice, produce work, and find an audience through art shows or local venues and as part of a community of artists.

After you take a common core of foundational art classes in drawing, design, and history, you will continue to fulfill the requirements for an emphasis in graphic design or studio art.

Studio Art
Studio art fosters creativity and critical thinking through an understanding of the practice and history of the arts. Through this program, you will be encouraged to see how your own creative endeavors relate to other disciplines within the liberal arts.
